John Milbank, "Being Reconciled: Ontology and Pardon" (Routledge Radical Orthodoxy)

Being Reconciled offers an entirely fresh treatment of the ethical and theological dimensions of reconciliation in the context of the complex questions of the Gift. It reconsiders notions of freedom and exchange in relation to Christian doctrine which understands Creation, Grace and Incarnation as heavenly gifts, but the Fall, evil and violence as refusal of those gifts. In a sustained and rigorous response to the works of Derrida, Levinas, Marion, Zizek, Hauerwas and the ‘Radical Evil’ school, John Milbank posits the daring view that only transmission of the forgiveness offered by the Divine Humanity makes reconciliation possible on earth. Any philosophical understanding of forgiveness and redemption therefore requires theological completion.

A genuinely Christian understanding of reconciliation, says Milbank, involves a drastic reconception of philosophical notions of reality and of Christ’s relationship to human society – one not confined to material items and exchanges, but engaging with processes of evil, atonement, forgiveness and grace. Working on the premise that theology, unlike philosophy, regards all things as gifts, but contending that the true gift is always involved in gift-exchange, Being Reconciled argues for forgiveness as the public renewing of a positive exchange of gifts that overcomes the privation of evil, rather than as a negative and private gesture that refuses a positivity of evil. It is only meaningful in the perpetual synergy of human offering and divine gift, eternally transferred and renewed through infinite and multiple reciprocities. Both a critique of post-Kantian modernity, and a further development of a distinctive new theology that engages with questions of metaphysics, historicity, culture and politics, Being Reconciled is the first in a series of writings centred on the Gift. It is an original and vivid new account of reconciliation and forgiveness by a leading international theologian.
